Would you think less of me if you knew that my husband hates to see dirty dishes, so many evenings I'll say, "Guess I'll start the dishes soon..." and then putter around the house until my husband can't stand it anymore and HE does the dishes?

I actually went online to locate the closest Taco Bell to my parents house because we'll be visiting them in a couple of weeks.

Luke Wilson & his brother (also actors) are pretty goodlooking, too. ;) Would you think less of me if I told you instead of going through the long, drawn out bedtime routine we're currently stuck in around here; last night I was too lazy to do it so I just put the 2 youngest in bed w/ me (dh had to work)? Or, since that one didn't sound too bad, how about this: Would you think less of me because yesterday evening, when the dc wanted to play board games, I had to vaccuum a square of carpet just for a decent enough area to play?

No, because my DD7 just woke up too, but DD4 has been up for an hour. I haven't made her breakfast either. Instead, I let her feed herself a banana and made her bring me one too :001_unsure: And that's not even my contribution! Would you think less of me if you knew that, late last night, after everyone else went to sleep (I really, REALLY needed some mama time), I indulged a craving and made a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough to eat some raw? Then, in an attempt to salvage some dignity, I started the oven to actually make the cookies, and because the oven takes awhile to heat up...I fell asleep on the couch and left the oven on all night and the cookie dough on the counter? Now I have to throw it away :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmom3tn Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) 100 miles!? Wow, that must have been some craving! It was about 140 miles, round-trip. I really wanted that fudge, LOL. It's not something I would normally do, but the day before we had been all set to travel about the same distance for a field trip. At the last minute, the field trip was canceled. So, Friday morning I was craving some fudge and thought: I've got a full tank of gas, just had the oil changed, got a refund for the field trip... why not???? :) ETA: We also took a quick tour of a museum while we were there, so it wasn't completely lacking educational value. We could count that as "school", right? :) Edited September 27, 2009 by hsmom3tn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Dh went to a quack doctor once. Yes, I swear he was a quack. It was a walk in clinic and the guy really sounded clueless. Well this was over ten years ago and the guy told him he couldn't eat tomatoes. He still won't. Later he went to a naturopath. Not a quack, but she told him he couldn't have wheat for a while. So he didn't. Then she said she could do something to help with that. She did, but dh didn't believe it worked so he still won't touch wheat. Why believe the naturopath in the first place, if you won't believe that what she does will help? So, on occasion I have made something with wheat bread crumbs or a miniscule amount of tomato product. Dh wouldn't eat it if he knew. But when he did eat it, did he have any problems?
